LETTER FROM THE
EDITORS Dear reader,
Welcome to the twenty-second edition of Roars and Whispers literary-arts magazine. Our theme this year is the desire to seek powerful change in one’s life. We selected this theme to reflect the common thread of our pieces. For example, “SATs and Sugar Daddies” is a comedic piece about finding a solution to the stress of high school, and “Glitch Within the Clone” reflects a boy’s wish to reshape his relationship with his sister. On a more serious note, “Pink-Haired Girl” is a heartfelt piece about the transformative power of grief, and “Satinah Ahmad” reflects the desire for political change. This year’s magazine keeps in mind both the past and the future within the desire for change. The prologue “Before the Storm” invites you into the magazine. Storms represent both destruction and new beginnings, bringing change both physically and figuratively. The different perspectives in the magazine will change the way you think, similar to a storm’s effect on the landscapes. The epilogue “Firefly Capital of the World” closes the magazine by reiterating the changes that take place in relationships. The speaker experiences the constant nature of a relationship while unlocking new facets of her personality. The magazine follows this experience of change, and the epilogue expresses finality in that transition. Simply we want to show you change. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Sincerely, Katherine Welch, Managing Editor Hannah Magraw, Copy and Nonfiction Editor Remy Lucien, Design Editor
